Sediment Mixing and Amorphous Weathering Products in a Glaciated Mars-Analog SystemModern climate models of Mars tend to predict a colder, icier early climate than previously imagined. While alteration of mafic terrain under warm, wet conditions is relatively well understood, a significant knowledge gap exists in how weathering might occur under redominantly glaciated environments on Mars. In such conditions, it is unclear whether all or any of the variety of aqueous alteration phases expressed in contemporaneous early martian surfaces could be formed, or how erosion of mafic bedrock and transport of sediment would comparatively change.
